Average price for a gallon of regular gas

“It’s normal for prices to fall in September,” said Mark Jenkins, AAA spokesman with The Auto Club Group. “The summer driving season is over, demand is down, and refineries are switching to the cheaper winter-blend gasoline.”

Since Sept. 1, the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded has fallen about 12 cents. Florida’s average has decreased about 15 cents and Georgia’s average about 20 cents.

“Prices could continue to fall another 5 to 10 cents before the end of the month,” Jenkins continued, “but it’s unlikely they’ll go below $3 anytime soon.”

The national average price of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.47 on Monday, almost five cents less than last Monday. Florida's average of $3.41 decreased six cents from last week, while Georgia's average of $3.32 dropped eight cents from last week.

In Ocala, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded was $3.37 on Monday, down seven cents from the previous Monday, according to the crowd-sourcing website www.gasbuddy.com.

Last week, the price of oil fell to $104.67 on the NYMEX. That was the lowest settlement since Aug. 21 and the biggest weekly drop in three months.
